Kitchen Remodel: Blah to BEAUTIFUL

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:12:14 +0000

This Fall clients Susan and Michael purchased a condo on the cape. The condo had just what they wanted; a large deck, plenty of room and a gorgeous view of the ocean. They had to have it! But when they saw the kitchen, “BLAH” was all they could say. They headed to Cape & Island Kitchens to meet with Designer Gail O’Rourke and Reconstruction Project Manager Michael Heinrichs. Their kitchen remodel was recently completed.

This Project included the following scope of work:

Remove existing cabinetry

Remove Wall, Closet

Relocate Electrical Panel

Install approved LVL in Ceiling

Replace Cabinetry and Counter

Replace Flooring

Plumbing and electrical as required by code

The client selected the following:

Shrock: Brookshire Door, White, Beadboard Accent. Mechanicals included a tray divider and Double Trash pull out and lazy susan cabinet

Counter: Skyline Marble and Granite – St. Cecelia Dark with 4″ backsplash and 3/8″ edge detail

Other: Franke Sink, Appliances by owner

What started as closed and cramped, ended up as gorgeous, open and fully functional space! As this was a project in a condominium complex, Michael executed all aspects of this project respectfully with the project management company.

Here’s what the Client said – Wow! Is that our Kitchen? It came out unbelieveably spectacular. It has been our pleasure to work with you – you are all very nice and professional and great taste! Thank you again. – Susan and Michael

We had unique problems with the kitchen design because of our existing conditions – but your team handled it with ease. All the workers were prompt, professional and conscientious in their work. We were impressed by their politeness and happy to see that they cleaned up at the end of each day.The Cabinetry is exactly what we expected, the work done was excellent and the end result was very satisfactory. The crew kept to the project timetable, the work was done on time. We would highly recommend your company to others. Celine and Edmund Woiszwillo

Featuring Candlelight Cabinetry

admin — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 16:17:22 +0000

The real difference between Candlelight Cabinets and any other cabinetry on the market isn’t just their many styles, their select woods and finishes, or even their superior craftsmanship. The real difference is you, and your ability to work with our exceptional products and professionals to custom create a singular kitchen.

Do you dream of a kitchen that will be the centerpiece of elegant entertaining? The hub of family living? The center for your own gourmet adventures? Whatever your vision, we can help you select from their limitless combination of options to create a kitchen that is truly “As unique as you are.”

Paint – Custom Colors

Even with 85 custom color combinations to choose from, it’s possible that you still won’t see exactly what you want – so they invite you to create your own perfect shade of paint.

Due to increased demand for certain custom colors; we are pleased to announce that Candelight will offer a color match to the following Ben Moore colors at no additional custom paint upcharge: White Dove and Decorators White.

Selection

Expressing your own style all comes down to choice. That’s why they offer sixty door styles, eight wood species and countless finish options.

Their Guarantee

Candlelight’s warranties are as good as gold. They offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty on their Signature drawers and hinges, and a 5-year Limited Warranty on their cabinets.

Custom Finish

At Candlelight, all wood is cared for as if by a master craftsman, from start to finish. First, each piece is selected by hand for color and grain uniformity to meet our demanding definition of Select. It then proceeds through multiple hand-sanding, cleaning, staining, and sealing processes. The result? A quality difference you can not only see but actually feel.

Green

Candlelight Cabinetry has a lasting commitment to the environment – and it starts with making cabinets that last. Higher quality, more durable, longer-lasting cabinets increase the “life span” of kitchens, reducing the need to remodel. That saves significant natural resources and cuts down on pollutants arising from the manufacture, transportation and installation of cabinets.

Their immense respect for the environment is also expressed in their commitment to reforestation. As a purchaser of Candlelight Cabinetry, you will have a choice between receiving a complimentary tree for your yard or ten trees for one of our national forests. Since 1990, Candlelight has planted over 25,000 trees through our “Tree Planting Program.” While this program exceeds reforestation policies, Candlelight Cabinetry – and our customers – would expect nothing less.

Other “Green” Features Include:

No added formaldehyde plywood
Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) paints
In-house recycling
KCMA/Environmental Stewardship program certified
